1. Now be Easter tryst new-trysted,
Fellowship past human cheer;
Jesus, met, adored, new-trusted,
Here like Mary in the garden,
Here like Peter on the shore,
Still our hungering spirits gladden;
As Emmaus
So among us
Break the bread, your presence sure.
2. Souls unleavened, spirits fallow,
Greet the great Passover feast;
Bitter herbs of Christ’s own sorrow
Season these, the gifts we offer,
Thou the lamb, and thou the priest;
Tasting now, we taste for ever
Bread of presence,
Wine to pledge us,
Covenant till time be ceased.

3. Take up, then, our hearts’ thanksgiving
In the praise of lips and lives,
Pleading, for our world’s sin-grieving,
Spirit-hunger, time’s soul-sorrow,
Christ’s eternal sacrifice,
For our hope in every morrow,
Great soul-anchor,
Till we enter,
Called to sup, in paradise.
